IMPROVED DEVICE FOR S ALTIN G AND SEASONING MEATS.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, WARREN SA DLER, of Lockport, in the county of Niagara, State of New York, have invented a new and useful Instrument for Salting and Seasoning Meat; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the nature, construction, and operation of the same, sufiicientto enable one skilled in the art to which it :lppertains to construct and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, which are made part of this specification, and in which the same letters indicate similar parts.

Figure 1 is an elevation of instrument.

Figure 2 is a transverse section on the 'line 41 cc, fig. 1.

Figure 3 is an elevation of the tube by which thesalt is introduced.

Figure 4 iso sideview'of one end of the salt-holder. This cousists ot' a tubular portion, through which a probe is introduced to make an opening to the middle or to the bone of the meet, and which subsequent 1y forms the duct for the introduction of the scoop which carries the salt and deposits it against. the bone,

where decay usually commences.

In the drawings, A represents a. thin metallic tube, containing B, the handle, and C, the point of the probe,

which show at tlreu'espeotivo ends of the tube A, and the latter of which affords the means for the penetration of the meat. The desired point being reached, the scoop D is filled with salt, or a. sutticient quantity placed therein, and the scoop thus furnished is introduced through the tube so as to protrude at the end and deposit the salt at the required place, when' the scoop and tube are withdrawn together.

The difliculty in salt-ing meet usually arises from its imperfect penetration, and the parts around the bone are generally the points at which the decay commences, owing to their being'deep-seatethtull of moisture, and

apparently more apt to decay than the exterior parts.

Having described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Lettcrs'Patent, is The instrument as shown and described, COJSl-SlLlDg of the tube A, probe C, and scoop 1), operating as set forth. V v

To the above specification of my device for salting and seasoning meats, I have signed my bu ld this twentyfirst day of February, 1867. V
